Financial Assistance

There is a limited budget for financial assistance set aside each year which is available for our students. Our goal is to allocate the limited pool of funds across many families, keeping in mind the mission and vision of the school. The decision to grant financial assistance is guided by several factors, including the demonstrated need of the family.

Important Points to Consider About Financial Assistance

Financial assistance is need-based.
You must apply for it each school year.
You are required to demonstrate your eligibility or need truthfully.
Applying for financial assistance does not guarantee that the request, in part or in whole, will be granted.

How to apply for Financial Assistance

Any request for a reduction in the published Parent Contribution Fees requires a completed Financial Assistance Application Form every year.

NEW STUDENTS

You may apply for financial assistance through our Admissions & Enrollment portal, after you submitted the Student Application Form and paid the Application Fee. We recommend applying for financial assistance as soon as possible (but no later than February 15 for priority applicants). The form will be available on your Admission Checklist within the Admission & Enrollment portal.

Financial assistance decisions are communicated with the admission decision.

RETURNING STUDENTS

You may apply for financial assistance through our Admissions & Enrollment portal, during the re-enrollment process, the deadline is December 15. The Financial Assistance Application Form will be available on your Enrollment checklist within the portal.
